Redrilling backing plates or axle flanges - question
Permalink  
 

Since my channelled T coupe sits quite low, the rear end is way above the bottom edge of the body, causing some interference with the E Brake cables and the body. I'm thinking about rotating the backing plates on my early 9" a few degrees by re-drilling the plates or the holes in the axle flange to allow the cables to come out of the backing plates a little lower in the front. Anyone see any problem with this? I'm thinking the odd shape of the axle flange on most 9" Ford rears might not allow it anyhow.

As long as you can rotate the backing plate, I dont see why not. I would drill the backing plate, not the flange

Mike,

I have to agree with Poncho, as long as the flange will allow the rotation...the brakes don't know where they are.

Only problem I can see in the future "might" be bleeding the air out of w/cyl. when it's not sitting level????

You could always vacuum bleed it if it were enough of a problem.
